With all the changes downtown on Bernard, I really cannot comprehend why the city cannot put up a simple street sign for St. Paul so guests of our city, seniors and newbies can find that street.
I know where St. Paul is, but if one needs to find the bottle recycling place or the good chiropractor I go to and many other businesses, would it not frustrate them not knowing which street to turn down?
There is another street just before St. Paul, off Bernard, also without a street sign, so I guess the city just wants us to play a guessing game and/or just do a half-assed job on completion.
I would love to see someone fresh in the mayor's office and more competent with care about what our city looks like. I think it is tiresome and a real shame looking at the graffiti-struck and very run down bluffs across the lake, as it just shows off the laziness.
And what about that vacant, boarded up, graffiti-struck former McDonald's? It's a terrible eyesore.
You cannot tell me it can't be bulldozed so we do not have to look at it anymore. Again, laziness and the "I do not care attitude" is in full effect when these things are left for years and years.
And what about that weed-infested property next to White Spot on Harvey Avenue that was a motel but looks condemned and like something out of the movie Deliverance?
Come on, Kelowna, wake up and care about our city as much as your guests and town folk do, please. The time is upon you to start making some much-needed changes around here.
